How to get Payday: The Heist for free!

Well… not totally free. You’ve got to buy four PSN games first.

We like free stuff. And we like good stuff. So when someone offers us free stuff and good stuff, we can’t help but be excited.

Such is the case with the “First Annual PlayStation Network PLAY” initiative announced by SCEA today. It’s a bit confusing for simpler folk like us, but we’ve parsed the details of this deal so you don’t have to.

Starting Aug. 9, gamers can pre-order select games. Each pre-order comes with theme for the PS3. And each game, when purchased, comes with an additional gift. Even better: PlayStation Plus members (anyone? anyone?) will receive an automatic 20% off any game that’s part of the PLAY lineup.

Finally, the goodest part: Buy all four games by Sept. 19 and you’ll get a voucher code for Payday: The Heist, a game we called “the next big thing for Left 4 Dead fans” in a recentpreview.
